Summary

  • Moon Knight actress May Calamawy is interested in playing Wonder Woman in the DCEU.
  • Adria Arjona and Jessica Green are among the actresses fans want to be the next Wonder Woman.
  • DC Studios is working on a Wonder Woman prequel series, Paradise Lost, that explores Wonder Woman’s backstory.

One performer is under consideration for taking on the role of Wonder Woman within James Gunn’s DC Universe. Yet, it seems they have yet to decide on a plan should they secure this opportunity.

The character of Wonder Woman is a highly influential superheroine hailing from DC Comics. Known as the Amazonian warrior princess and daughter of Queen Hippolyta, she holds a semi-divine status. She stands among the three most prominent superheroes in the DC Universe – Superman and Batman being the other two. Moreover, Wonder Woman is one of the original architects of the Justice League. Recently, James Gunn and Peter Safran, now co-CEOs and co-chairmen of DC Studios, have chosen to revamp the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) by introducing fresh faces into the DC Universe (DCU). For example, David Corenswet has replaced Henry Cavill in the role of Superman. The public eagerly awaits the official casting for the upcoming Batman and Wonder Woman, roles previously held by Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot respectively. One actress has expressed readiness to assume the role from Gadot.

Actress May Calamawy, known for her role in Moon Knight, recently attended Comic-Con France. During a Q&A session, she was asked about her potential interest in portraying Wonder Woman. In response, she expressed enthusiasm by saying, “If they want me to play Wonder Woman, I’ll play Wonder Woman.” Although Calamawy hasn’t watched Gadot’s Wonder Woman films, she has seen bits of Wonder Woman 1984. If given the opportunity, she plans to bring her unique interpretation to the role, but hasn’t yet thought about specific plans should the character be offered to her.

I have no desire to replicate Gadot’s portrayal of Wonder Woman, or any other actor’s for that matter. Frankly, I haven’t given it much thought yet about how I might play the role myself.

A number of fans have proposed their preferred choices for the role of Wonder Woman. Some advocate for Eiza González or Adria Arjona, while others favor Jessica Green from ‘The Outpost’, who they believe fits the bill in terms of height, physique, and beauty to portray the character effectively. Interestingly, Green has shown interest in taking on this role. Previously, Gunn had mentioned that he wasn’t overly concerned about the height of the next Wonder Woman, as it could limit his search for a skilled and talented actress who is 6’5″ or taller. Instead, he would aim to find an accomplished actress regardless of her height.

As a movie enthusiast, I can’t help but share some exciting news about the DC Universe’s beloved superheroine, Wonder Woman! Although I haven’t received any official updates on whether DCU is planning a new Wonder Woman film just yet, rest assured that they only bring on the finest talent. James Gunn, for instance, has confirmed he doesn’t engage in open casting calls.

In the meantime, while we eagerly await the return of our favorite Amazonian warrior, Gunn is hard at work on a live-action prequel TV series titled “Paradise Lost.” This intriguing project promises to delve into Wonder Woman’s history and backstory, offering fans a unique insight into her world.

In November, Gunn confirmed that the development of “Paradise Lost” is actively underway. He also clarified that no DC projects move forward without being greenlit first – they’re waiting for the final script before they can push ahead with production. With the project still very much in development, there are currently no casting decisions to report.

Fans of epic storytelling will be thrilled to hear that “Paradise Lost” is set to resemble the political intrigue and drama found in “Game of Thrones,” complete with power struggles, manipulation, and complex relationships. The series is slated to stream on Max, but an official release date has yet to be announced.

Stay tuned for more updates as this highly anticipated project continues its development!
